Zagreb's city center will experience significant public transport disruptions this weekend as tram services are suspended due to essential modernization work. The ZET (Zagreb Electric Tram) power substation in Pataฤiฤkina requires upgrades, leading to the complete halt of tram operations on Saturday and Sunday.
The suspension affects a wide area, including Branimirova Street, Avenija Marina Drลพiฤa, and several other key routes connecting the city center to various terminals. While tram lines 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 14, and 17 will operate on altered routes, lines 7, 11, 13, and 15 will be out of service entirely. Notably, line 3 will run on its regular route exceptionally, and night lines will be replaced by buses.
To mitigate the impact, four special bus lines, 623, 624, 625, and 626, will operate within the suspended tram zone. These buses will follow specific routes designed to connect major points like Glavni kolodvor (Main Station) and Kvaternikov trg. Detailed route information and a graphical representation of the affected tram network are available on the official ZET website. Passengers are advised to consult these resources to navigate the changes.
